Additional information

Bermuda's 1997 dollar marks the 60th anniversary of the Coronation portrait commissioned from Humphrey Paget in 1937 — the same effigy that appeared on Bermuda's first decimal coinage and which remained in use across numerous Commonwealth territories well into the postwar decades. Paget's portrait was never the official coronation image; it was produced for circulation coinage and became, through sheer ubiquity, the definitive face of the young queen for a generation of Commonwealth subjects.
